[vtk-developers] VTK Web with no window opened by the VTK server

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Are you using "vtkpython" of "pvpython/pvbatch" ?

If you use pvbatch, that should work out of the box with
PV_ALLOW_BATCH_INTERACTION=1.

If you use python/vtkpython, you should create the correct vtkRenderWindow
class that is offscreen.

Hope this helps,

Seb
